the same In working order is mentioned.
Due compensation Is asked for the board OF
examiners Of steam engines.
Corrections are asked to be made In the
ilre-escape law so that parties failing to
comply can be forced to obey.
The office OF inspector Of elevators Is
asked to be established
IL is recommended that crematory for
the destruction Of garbage be established.
The erection OF District stables for the
horses in use by the District Is wanted.
The erection OF public baths ia also recon-.
mended, and the same to bo placed under
the charge OF the harbor master. The con-
struction Of sewer between Lyons's Mills
and Pennsylvania avenue, for the purpose
OF reclaiming certain portions Of Rock
creek, is strongly recommended.
The necessity for keeping the county
roads in good repair requires more money
than has as yet been available, and the
growing importance Of these thoroughfares
requires that larger appropriations should
be made for their maintenance.
Congress is asked to legislate suitable
laws governing the plumbing in the Dis
trict and for the examination Of persons ap.
plying for plumbers license. Under the
head Of street improvements reference Is
made to the difficulties OF making the same
without occasioniDg criticism. 1t would
take $7,000000 to make all the desired
street improvements, so that an annual ap-
preparation of 100000 would take ten
years to complete the work. The present
plan was based on the average area, popu-
lation, and valuation Of property in order
to arrive at some satisfactory arrangement.
Tables and schedules accompany the report
explanatory Of the various topics discussed.
A kind word Is said OF the good work done
by the various officers and subordinates
during the year.

A PEREMPToRY MANDAMUS.
Engineer Commissioner Ludlow Mast
Issue Mr., Hannah a Permit.

Engineer Commissioner Ludlow Mast
Issue MIR. Hannah a Permit.
In the court in general term yesterday
Justice James delivered the opinion of the
court In the case OF United States ex rel
Daniel Hannah against Engineer Commis
sioner Ludlow. The court directs per-
emptory writ Of mandamus to issue com
manding the engineer commissioner to issue
permit to Mr.. Hannah to make the exca-
vation to run water on certain premises
The court said that the return made to the
rule set forth chiefly arguments against the
opinion of the court. The main argument
was that such regulations were necessary to
secure good work. The court fully con-
cured that some such restrictions were
necessary as In the cases Of druggists, engi-
neere, &c. These were necessary checks
for the health and even the lives OF the in
habitants. But the authorities have not
been invested with power to regulate this
matter; that power was In Congress and Ii
was shown conclusively that 1t was no,
given by 1t to any one.
